Atnj Education Fund

ATNJ Education Fund’s main purpose is to provide education and awareness of the twice yearly statewide elections in New Jersey, an existing gap in public outreach to communities that both the county election boards and the state Division of Elections do not provide. We focus on the communities and groups of people living in geographic areas designated as “Hard to Count" (HTC) by the Census Bureau:  African-American/Black, Asian, and Hispanic/Latino. We also focus on high school students ages 17-18 who are automatically registered to vote upon earning their driver’s permit with the Motor Vehicle Commission. Where there are gaps in voter outreach by government agencies, we are intentional in finding solutions to fill those gaps and amplify where necessary.
